With five days in a row of everybody's favorite PRICE IS RIGHT game, Plinko, contestants will get a big surprise each day when host Drew Carey informs them that the PCH Prize Patrol is in the house and will double their winnings for every Plinko chip that lands in the coveted middle spot. Instead of winning $10,000 for each chip, PCH is doubling the amount to $20,000, giving each Plinko player the opportunity to win $100,000. With Plinko part of the show every day for a full week, players will have an opportunity to win half a million dollars in cash, in addition to the prizes and showcases featured throughout the shows.

THE PRICE IS RIGHT, the longest-running game show in television history, is hosted by Drew Carey. Produced by FremantleMedia North America, THE PRICE IS RIGHT is broadcast weekdays (11:00 AM-12:00 Noon, ET; 10:00-11:00 AM, PT) on the CBS Television Network. The show premiered on CBS on Sept. 4, 1972, and is currently celebrating its 40th season on the air.
